[The sting of the curse is perhaps unexpected. Izunia is perfectly capable of behing vehement and has perhaps picked up bad language from the minds of future generations, because that is surely an anachronism for him.]
You should have had a long, happy life, and instead you're the one who paid the price to fix my mistakes.

If you can do this kind of thing with me, have you done it with him? So you guys can talk about this stuff. [ He chances a look at Izunia, at the one he shares such a striking resemblance with. ] So you can apologize.

[Eat your gotdamn vegetables Noct.]
...And - it isn't that you didn't flinch back from the things that were hard for you. You accepted that difficulty and kept going anyway, instead of trying to pretend that that difficulty didn't mean anything.
[There's some genuine admiration and affection mixed into his voice. He's so proud of you, supergreat grandson.]

[He shifts to lean back in his seat, the opposite of Noctis with his elbows on his knees. His gaze has found its way to the sky again.]
